Donald Trump and House Republicans are pushing a budget that takes $880 billion away from Medicaid to give $1.1 trillion in tax breaks to billionaire donors like Elon Musk. It’s a scam that will devastate families across America.

Recent air traffic incidents led Elon Musk to ask retired air traffic controllers to return to work, just months after laying them off en masse.

Since taking office, Trump has prioritized appeasing Putin and billionaires over the American people at every turn. Tonight's address was more of the same. My full statement ⤵️

Trump's presidency has been extremely alarming—we've seen rising grocery costs, attempts to slash Medicare, mass firings of critical workers by Musk, & the White House abandoning our democratic allies. (1/2)
